Uvarus texanus (Sharp 1882)
A very rare endemic; The elytral maculations and yellow-brown pronotum are diagnostic; Larson (2000) mentions that only 3 specimens had been collected at the time of publication. Anyways a very nice find!!

Heterosternuta diversicornis
Peter H. Diaz, Texas State University, writes:

...after looking at it closer it is Heterosternuta diversicornis. It may have a patch of sete above the prosternal process. It is H. diversicornis and not neoporus because, in noeporus the transverse fasciae are connected longitudinally. In this specimen the lines are not connected. Pete

Wolfe, G.W. & G.L. Harp. 2003. A new species of predaceous diving beetle, Heterosternuta phoebeae (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae), from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. Coleopterists Bulletin, 57(2): 117-121.
